Picture 21. Building the Walls

Nehemiah 3:1 - 6:19Look at the picture! The Jews began to work. Some cleared away the rubbish while others built the walls and set up the gates. The enemies of the Jews became very angry. They threatened to kill the Jews while they worked. So Nehemiah prayed to God again. He needed God to show him what to do. Then he placed armed men on the walls to guard the workers. Everyone took weapons and prepared for war. The enemies were unable to kill Nehemiah or the Jews. So the work went on and (in only 52 days) the wall was rebuilt. (Signal)
